NAME
       CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE - type of client SSL certificate

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, char *type);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  pointer  to  a null-terminated string as parameter. The string
       should be the format of your certificate.

       Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER", except with Secure Transport  or
       Schannel.  OpenSSL (versions 0.9.3 and later), Secure Transport (on iOS
       5 or later, or OS X 10.7 or  later)  and  Schannel  support  "P12"  for
       PKCS#12-encoded files.

       The  application  does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

DEFAULT
       "PEM"

PROTOCOLS
       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       If built TLS enabled. Added in 7.9.3

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if  not,  or
       CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
